Oatmeal-crusted chicken tenders are delightfully crunchy, and are sure to be a hit with adults and children alike. Serve with commercial honey mustard or light ranch dressing for dipping. Ingredients:
1 cup regular oats |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pound chicken breast tenders |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Place oats in a food processor, and process for 20 seconds or until coarsely ground. Add cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine, and place in a shallow bowl.
3. Place each chicken breast tender between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Coat both sides of tenders with cooking spray; dredge tenders in oat mixture. Place tenders on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until browned.
